Registered Massage Therapists at Bathurst & Dupont, Toronto
MyoCare RMT & Wellness has been part of the Annex since 2010, and our clinic at 1096 Bathurst St, steps from the corner of Bathurst and Dupont, is where midtown Toronto comes for focused, hands-on treatment of jaw pain. If clenching, grinding, or a stiff, clicking jaw has crept into your daily life, a TMJ massage with one of our registered massage therapists can help release that tension and restore comfortable movement.
No two jaws carry tension the same way. Your therapist begins by assessing your symptoms and how your jaw moves, then works through the muscles that drive jaw function (the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoids), releasing tightness and encouraging normal, comfortable motion.
Jaw pain rarely travels alone. Clenching and grinding often go hand in hand with tight shoulders, a stiff neck, and desk-day posture. Our RMTs treat these surrounding areas too, easing fascial tension and improving circulation so relief lasts longer between visits.
Our Annex treatment rooms are quiet and softly lit, giving your nervous system a chance to settle. When the body relaxes, the jaw follows, and that makes hands-on work on the chewing muscles gentler and more effective.
A TMJ massage at our Annex clinic starts with a conversation and an assessment: your therapist reviews your symptoms, watches how your jaw opens and closes, and palpates the muscles of the jaw, face, and neck to map where tension sits. Treatment then uses gentle, targeted techniques (including trigger point work and, where appropriate, intraoral massage) to release the masseter and surrounding muscles, improve circulation, and take pressure off the temporomandibular joint. Most clients leave with self-care tips and simple exercises to help manage symptoms between sessions.
Bruxism, often stress-related, overworks the chewing muscles and can leave your jaw aching by morning. Massage releases the built-up tension and can help interrupt the clench-ache-clench cycle.
When the joint is restricted or the muscles around it are unbalanced, the jaw can click, pop, or feel like it catches. Gentle mobilization and soft-tissue work encourage smoother, better-aligned movement.
Tight jaw and temple muscles frequently refer pain into the head. By treating the source of that tension, TMJ massage can reduce how often headaches show up and how hard they hit.
Jaw dysfunction can also show up as neck and shoulder tightness or a feeling of fullness around the ears. Treating the whole region addresses these connected symptoms rather than the jaw in isolation.
We're at 1096 Bathurst St, Toronto, right by the Bathurst and Dupont intersection, an easy walk from anywhere in the Annex and steps from the TTC. See the Myocare Annex location page for directions and clinic details.
The Annex clinic is open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 7:30pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am to 5:30pm, so evening and weekend appointments are both on the table.
Book online in a couple of minutes, or call the clinic at (416) 995-6601 if you'd like help choosing the right treatment type and length for your first visit.
It varies from person to person, but many clients notice improvement within the first few sessions. Your therapist will suggest a schedule based on how your jaw responds to treatment.
Yes. It's a non-invasive, hands-on approach to jaw pain delivered by registered massage therapists. Techniques are adjusted to your comfort throughout the session, and intraoral work is only ever done with your consent.
Often, yes. Tension in the jaw and temple muscles is a common driver of headaches, and treating that tension directly can reduce both their frequency and their intensity.
